I fully expect the Lakers to slow it down on Wednesday and get 30-40 free throws.

I mean let's be clear: the Lakers should win this game. They should be favored and it will be a catastrophe for them if they lose. They'd beat the Warriors 4-1 or 4-0 in a series but LeBron has a long history of losing game 1s and if Steph goes 14/22 from 3, what can you do?

But yeah if the Lakers can slow it down and just play bully ball they should win by 25+.

Draymond has been well behaved this season. He's been so good on defense and as a playmaker. But yeah, it is certainly possible. Lebron will probably goat him.

Steve isn't going to get the same room in a game that matters. Big difference between this play in and battling the Grizzlies for a toilet bowl playoff seed during the regular season.

Are you taking bets on that 25 point margin of victory?

I'm over here having it both ways. I picked the Warriors and said the Lakers should win by 25.

Nice game Russ

Is it just me or does 50 points on 43% shooting seem kinda crazy?

Weird game so far. Kind of reminds me of an NCAA tournament game.

Looking forward to the "Are we sure Steph isn't better all-time than LeBron?" takes tomorrow.
